Beautiful Skin While Working Out

A little while back a reader wrote me with a question that I think may pertain to a lot of you that either workout daily or are fitness instructors. Here is her question:
– Luciana
If you are having to wash your face more then twice a day for any reason, it would be best to find a different solution for your skin. Over washing your face can overstimulate your skin causing redness, excess oil, or dryness depending on your skin type. The best solution to this problem is to use a cleanser that leaves your skin nourished and moisturized. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser is an excellent choice for every skin type and if you have very dry skin Bioelements Moisture Positive Cleanser is wonderful.
When you are finished working out and your skin has been sweating a lot instead of using water to rinse your face, use a toner. The purpose of a toner is to clean off any excess dirt, oil, cleanser, or makeup left behind on your skin. This makes it a perfect solution for taking care of your skin after a workout. Two wonderful toners are Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic and Bioelements Equalizer, both are great for all skin types.
If you still find that your skin needs more moisture during the day then Caudalie Beauty Elixir is the perfect solution for you! This is a spritz on elixir that both energizes and moisturizes your skin. Made with extracts of grape, essential oils of rosemary, orange blossom and rose extracts, benzoin, myrrh, organic balm mint and mint, you can use this any time of day or night that your skin needs a boost of moisture or radiance. I use it in the morning if I need to give my moisturizer a boost or at night as a light night treatment.
Lastly, if your moisturizer is melting off when you workout then use a good moisturizer at night, instead of in the morning. Nighttime is the time when your skin regenerates itself, so using a moisturizer at night will allow your skin to take full advantage of everything that your moisturizer has to offer. Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturizer is amazing for this! It truly repairs your skin and is great for neck lines as well. Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturizer is available for Oily, Normal, or Dry skin.

Top Ten Beauty Must Haves
Filed Under Bath & Body, Blog, Hair, Makeup, Scents, Skin Care | Leave a Comment
Over the years I have tried a myriad of beauty products. Everything from scrubs to masks to lotions to conditioner and everything in between. I still love to try every new product I can get my hands on and some I’ve found are really incredible. But after trying so many products there are a few items that are now my staples, these are products, most of which I have been using for yeas, that I simply will not be without.
Welcome to the inside look at my beauty must haves:
Michael Kors Perfume: This is my favorite scent hands down. It might be the exotic yet lovely mix of tuberose and gardenia or maybe its that this perfume is beautiful enough to be a great summertime scent and still elegant and strong enough to be my favorite scent during the colder months. But I’ll tell you why this perfume really goes in my all time best perfumes book: Every time I wear it people all day and all night long tell me “you smell so good”. That tends to just make a girl feel fabulous.
Origins Ginger Body Scrub: It smells wonderful, it has salt and real ginger zest and nothing leaves my skin softer and more “buffed”. If I had to give up all my scrubs, this is the one I would keep.
Dove Intensive Nourishing Body Lotion: I don’t usually go for the drug store items, but this is one product I cannot live without. Nothing is better on freshly shaven legs than this lotion. No stinging, no little red bumps, no dryness, just soft moisturized legs.
Jaqua Peach Parfait Sinfully Rich Body Butter: Out of all the lotions I have tried and loved, this is my most favorite. It leaves my skin very soft, moisturized, looking luminous and smelling amazing! This truly sinful body butter really smells like peach parfait, you will not find a butter that leaves you softer than this. And to top it all off, it soaks into the skin very easily.
MAC Studio Fix: Oh yeah! Now this is my must have of all beauty must haves. I cannot, nor will I, live without this amazing product. This dry use power and foundation in one is my secret to red carpet worthy skin. It transforms my skin in one application and leaves it looking flawless and luminous. One for every makeup bag and purse, never be without this stuff!
Bioelements Kerafole: I wrote about this mask a few months ago, Three Masks You Can’t Live Without, if you haven’t tried this exfoliating mask yet, you must because you are going to love the results. Within the first few days your skin looks brighter, within two weeks your skin is luminous, softer, smoother, and radiant. For exposing a new layer of gorgeous skin with an at home treatment there is nothing better.
Bioelements Restorative Clay: No matter what new clay mask I try (and like) I always go back to this one. It just produces the most consistent results of anything I use. If you ever have trouble with breakouts use this mask two to three times a week and I promise you will see your skin troubles fade.
Jan Marini Bioglycolic® Resurfacing Body Scrub: Ok, the Origins Body Scrub might be my favorite everyday body scrub, but this is not your everyday body scrub. This is the power tool of body scrubs. If you have bumps, rough spots, patches, or elbows that you can never get as smooth as you want, this glycolic acid scrub is the stuff you want. The secret is using it the proper way: smooth the scrub over your body before you get in the shower, let it sit for five minutes, wet your skin a little and buff your skin with the scrub, rinse. All your bumps and rough spots will be gone and your elbows will be smoother than you’ve ever felt them. This product only gets better the more you use it. (Use two to three times a week depending on your needs.)
Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturizer: This is the moisturizer of moisturizers. All natural, not tested on animals, smells so relaxing and makes your skin so soft and smooth. I have found no other moisturizer that satisfies my high standards for skin care the way this one does. Available in light (for oily skin), normal (for normal or combination skin), and dry (for dry sensitive skin). Works great on those pesky lines on your neck too!
Buf Puf (Gentle): This may seem like a strange beauty must have, but I swear this is the best exfoliant for your face. I have been using this simple trick for fifteen years and no matter what new scrub I have, this is always the best for leaving my skin smooth and blemish free. Just pump a little of your cleanser on the buff puff and gently scrub away (and make sure you buy the Buf-Puf without added cleanser!).
Honorable Mention, Nature Girl Organic Sugar Scrub: While the two scrubs above are my absolute favorites, and have been for a while, I can’t stop using this scrub, so I had to mention it. It smells like fresh lemon peel, it has large enough grains that I can give my skin a thorough scrubbing, and on top of it all, it moisturizes my skin really well. Using this scrub always provides a great foundation for my lotion and makes the lotion work ten times better. This scrub is on it’s way to being one of my beauty must haves!
